Spanish Rice

I normally do this by memory, I don't really have a "Recipe" I use for it. A friend taught me how to make this and I have kinda tweaked it a bit to my liking. You can use as little or as much seasoning as you prefer. I have given a few tips that help me while prepping the rice :) This is very good with Carne Asada or any Mexican dishes. Enjoy!

How to Make Spanish Rice

While heating oil in pan, you will want to prep. Cut up your Onion & Tomato, as well as heat up water in a Microwaveable dish with the bouillon cube in the water. I find this easier for me to get it to blend in the rice with out leaving as many lumps. I normally add the water once it's time while using a spoon to mash up the cube, but you don't have to it's just what I do to make it easier for me.

Once oil is hot and you have a bit of a sizzling sound. Add Rice, Seasoning, Onion let that brown a bit, do not burn your rice. Stir occasionally. You will than want to add your tomato, stir a tiny bit. Than carefully add your water mixture with the cube dissolved in the water, scrap any remaining bouillon into the rice mixture.

Once at a hard boil, give it a good stir than turn heat down to a simmer covering rice. DO NOT open lid while simmering for approx 20 min. I sometimes take the pan and give it a good shake and leave the lid on just to kinda give it a good little stir.

Once you have let it simmer for 20 min, uncover give it a good stir and if it still needs a few minutes turn heat off and cover for a few more min. This makes a good side dish.
